My semi auto Bren has a loading problem. The round is being stripped from the magazine but then ends up failing to chamber with round being 'stovepiped' between the bolt face and the barrel with the bullet facing down through the ejection port. Playing with snap-caps suggests that the round is not being held tightly enough on the bolt face and the front of the round is dropping down below the mouth of the barrel before the bolt closes. Could this be something as simple as a worn extractor stay spring?
